2016 UK Championship round 3 tips: In-form Allen and O’Sullivan to progress plus sixfold acca

Following his shock success over Trump, Leeds cueist Lines is aiming to continue his surge through the UK Championship and he is next a tasty 11/8 to overcome Jimmy Robertson in round 3.

The 21-year-old, ranked 61st in the world, secured a victory over his upcoming UK opponent the last time they collided, earning a narrow triumph in Asia.

Allen to overcome Day 6-3

Fresh off the back of racking up his maiden professional maximum break in the win over Rod Lawler, Northern Ireland potter Mark Allen will be on a high against Welshman Ryan Day here.

The Pistol holds a 12-8 head-to-head record over Day ahead of their latest encounter and the in-form break-builder is 11/2 to prevail 6-3. Allen has not dropped more than three frames in his last four fixture meetings, all of which games he has won.

Maguire to take 3-1 lead over O’Brien

Scottish cueist Stephen Maguire boasts a dominant record over next opponent Fergal O’Brien, having won all five previous match-ups with the Irishman since 2001.

The Glaswegian potter is therefore 7/4 to take a 3-1 lead after four frames played in this round 3 encounter.
